It's already been over 24 hours of Desert Bus! That means it's our time to take the stage again and bring you brand new Night Watch shenanigans (of which there are plenty).
Shenanigans like the Beyblade Tournament, Night 2, hosted in the glorious Matt "Cat Enthusiast" Wiggins Memorial Stadium. Apparently we've also got a mascot now? Courtesy of Zeta Shift, which means we're not sure we should be handling it without gloves and safety padding. But it's ours now, and we guess well have to live with that.
As for prizes, we have quite a Magic-al evening ahead of us, and they'll be Gun-dam before you know it, so don't quilt on us now: take a deep breath of the wild and roll up to this November 9 prize list!

From humble beginnings busking on the streets of Philadelphia to acclaimed sold–out runs on Broadway to the longest-running, and one of the most-beloved resident headline acts in Las Vegas history, magic’s legendary duo continues to defy labels—and at times physics and good taste — by redefining the genre of magic and inventing their own very distinct niche in comedy.The duo star in the current hit series Penn & Teller: Fool Us! for The CW Network, on which up-and-comers and magic veterans try to fool Penn & Teller for a chance to star in the pair’s hit Las Vegas stage show. In recent years they’ve become acclaimed documentarians with the release of Tim’s Vermeer, which follows Texas-based inventor Tim Jenison on his quest to discover the methods used by Dutch Master painter Johannes Vermeer.Teller has directed versions of Macbeth and The Tempest that toured to raves from The New York Times and Wall Street Journal, co-wrote and directed the Off-Broadway thriller Play Dead and has written two books. Last season, together, Penn & Teller were unmasked after several spirited performances on The Masked Singer.In 2023, Penn & Teller celebrated 48 years of professional partnership.
We would like to thank long time supporter and sponsor Nix of Nothing. Moz Lunsford has been the creator of our annual poster. From the start of the run to its end they capture all the highlights with their digital artistry. Thanks, Moz!

Every day of Dawn Guard we plan to bring out a product or item we plan to run through the ringer. If we can think of something to try out with it, we'll do it (within bus safe ideas, anyway). Today we had an inflatable tube! We took him in, gave him a name and a face, and had lots of fun with him and Creepy Doll.
Overall, after everything we and Tubert Outbound went through together, Dawn Guard has given our boy 10 out of 10 Tuberts!
